The New Edition contained a frontispiece wood engraving based on
Brandling's lithograph of Lamorna Cove (fp188) and the vignette in the
title page was based on his previous frontispiece The Land's End. Wilkie
is now author of "Antonina," "The Woman in White,"
etc. and the quote of The Winter's Tale is gone. A new preface dated March
1861 claimed the original lithographs had now disappeared. This edition
was dedicated to 'The companion of my walk through Cornwall, Henry C.
Brandling.'
Chapters II and IX were removed and so was the interesting Appendix which gave the full itinerary of their walking tour. At the end was added 'The Cruise of the Tom-Tit', an account of a sailing trip to the Isles of Scilly, first published in Household Words on 22 December 1855. |
